Fontaines D.C.

Event Info

Following headline shows at Reading and Leeds festivals, Fontaines D.C. have announced a huge Welsh show at Blackweir Fields, Cardiff, with support from Little Simz and Viagra Boys.

The news follows the recent announcement of Fontaines D.C.’s fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, released on 16th October via XL Recordings. Produced by James Ford, it’s the follow-up to 2024’s UK platinum-certified Romance — the sound of a band moving decisively away from the guitar language of their early records and into their most seductive music yet. Preceded by lead single “Marianne”, the album asks how pleasure mutates amid peril, and what our pursuit of it reveals about us. “The album itself is a dopamine chamber,” says Chatten. “You step inside and we test these different mind- or mood-altering pieces of music on you.”
